About this concert
MURCOF es el seudónimo del mexicano Fernando Corona, que lleva dos décadas forjando su obra en el entorno de la música electrónica abstracta y minimalista. Con más de 10 álbumes publicados, también ha producido bandas sonoras para cortometrajes, música para videojuegos y danza contemporánea.
Formó parte del colectivo pionero Nortec Collective en Tijuana y ha explorado el jazz fusión con el trompetista Erik Truffaz o el minimalismo contemporáneo con la pianista clásica Vanessa Wegner.
En este espectáculo el artista desarrolla musicalmente un resumen de algunas de las piezas sonoras creadas para la compañía de artes escénicas suiza Alias, dirigida por el bailarín y coreógrafo Guilherme Botelho. Un proyecto que salió en formato de doble álbum en 2021, el primero desde 2008, bajo el título de The Alias Sessions, y donde lo importante no es tanto apreciar los elementos que componen cada fragmento, sino la acumulación sónica del set completo.
SERGI PALAU es un artista visual, cofundador del colectivo NiñoViejo, miembro del laboratorio de creación visual Radiante y comisario artístico del festival Volumens. Ha creado junto a Murcof el contenido visual de este show, utilizando principalmente imágenes en bruto de las obras de la compañía, que luego deconstruye, reimagina y recontextualiza para crear una nueva narrativa y dramaturgia; una experiencia visual surreal y cercana al mundo de los sueños.

Murcof Biography
Murcof was founded in early 2001 as a solo project of Fernando Corona in Tijuana, México. Murcof experiments with minimalistic electronic and classical music, exploring how digital precision and acoustic warmth can complement each other. The music is intended to reflect a digitalized way of interacting with the world, with each other and ourselves. It is meant to remind us that the end user will always be human, and that technology is a tool of expression and not an end in itself.
Murcof's music is sparse, minimalist, sample-based electronica. A key element is the complex, and sometimes abstract, glitchy electronic percussion. Corona's recordings are more melodic and traditionally structured than many contemporary electronic musicians, and many recordings feature orchestral strings sampled from recordings of works by modern composers such as Arvo Pärt. Corona uses silence to fill his music with intense emotion. There is also an obvious influence from film music, as can be heard in the use of samples and the dramatic production style, and these elements are also evident in the soundtracks Corona has performed for films such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
